Special Classes

St Clare’s Comprehensive School  has three designated special classes. Special Classes enable students with more complex special education needs to be educated in smaller class groups. 

Students enrolled in special classes are included in mainstream classes to the greatest extent possible, in line with their abilities. We opened our Moderate General Learning Class in 2002 and our ASD classes in 2021 and 2024.

Our approach in these classrooms is student centred. We work closely with parents and other professionals to ensure that we cater for students’ education, physical, emotional and sensory needs. We provide an environment where all students are valued and respected. Students in these classes undertake study of Level 1 and Level 2 learning programmes.
